SELECTIVE msonnaen saucer Application filed October 15, 928. Serial m. s12,52 5..

This invention relates to a selective discharge faucet, and its object is to provide an article of this character; which, by the manipulation of a single 'lever maybe made to release any one of a variety of syrups or other liquids.

A further object is a form of construction which is of neat and ornamental appearance and which may. be. easily taken apart for These and other objects and features of the inventionwillbe fullydescribed in the following specification andillustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which: I

15 Fig.1 shows a side view of the device; portions being broken away to disclose the working parts. I

Fig. 2 shows a fragmentary section on the line 2 -2 of Figure 1. Y 1 1 Fig. 3 shows a front view of the upper portion of the cylinder casing.

Fig. 4 shows a cross section on the line k4 of Figurel.

The device may be of any suitable mate- 25 rial and plated or otherwise finished as required.

. The construction is as follows: Referring chiefly to Figure 1 of the drawings; a block,

or base element is provided with a plural- 30 ity of holes, or tubes 11, 12, 13etc. and these. are arranged in vertical rows on opposite r sides of the said block. They are threaded as shown at 14, 15 etc. so that pipes may be easily attached thus connecting the faucet 35 with the various syrups, or liquids which it is desired to dispense; Preferably the faucet is mounted on a suitable tank which isdivided into separate compartments ;it may,'however,

be applied in other ways. I

A hole 16'passes vertically through the Y block, andthe tubes 11, 12, 13 etc. open'into it as indicated by the dotted lines in Figure 2..

A verticalcylinder 20 is attached to the 7 block as seen-in Figure 1 and has a closure lid 21 at its upper extremity. A longitudinally slidable and rotatable nozzle element A 22 fits smoothly within the hole 16 and may be turned, or raised, or lowered by the lever 23 which is secured to the top shoulder 24; this shoulder being integral with the said nozzle element? A spring 25 bears against the block element at the bottom and the shoulder 24: at the top and serves to raise or retract the nozzle element when the lever is in its central position of alignment.

A nozzle hole 26 is turned backward at its upper or rear end and assumes the'position indicated at 27 when the faucet is closed. It is obvious that when the lever is, turned to the right or left, this hole will connect with one of the pipe holes. c

To connect with the middle hole 12 in one of the rows of holes or the one opposite thereto; the lever is thrown, first into line with p I the slot 28-see Figure 3and is then pushed downward into the middle cross slot and turned to engage in the end'29 of said slot or in the opposite end 30 of the slot. Similar movements will connect the nozzle hole with either of the lower holes in the block. f It will thus be seen that a simple movement of the lever 23 will permit the drawing oii' of any of the liquids or syrups at will and with the utmost speed and efliciency. 1 \Vhile we have shown the device in its preferred form of construction; it is understood. 1 '5 that such minor changes of detail may be made therein as may come withln the spirit and'scope of the appended claim.
